This is what it is all about. If you read this and you find yourself in agreement, you will like this site. If you don't, then you probably won't. Save yourself the trouble, and read this now. It is paragraph 2425 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
�The Church has rejected the totalitarian and atheistic ideologies associated in modem times with "communism" or "socialism." She has likewise refused to accept, in the practice of "capitalism," individualism and the absolute primacy of the law of the marketplace over human labor. Regulating the economy solely by centralized planning perverts the basis of social bonds; regulating it solely by the law of the marketplace fails social justice, for "there are many human needs which cannot be satisfied by the market." Reasonable regulation of the marketplace and economic initiatives, in keeping with a just hierarchy of values and a view to the common good, is to be commended.�
You are either a Catholic or you are not. If you are, you have an obligation to acknowledge what the Catechism says about social justice. It is not a radical leftist euphemism for communism. It is a legitimate object of Christian charity. If you cannot give up your false idols, you cannot be a good Catholic.
ABOUT ME
My creed: I am not a liberal or a conservative. I believe in traditional values and cooperative economics. I oppose the imperialist wars conducted by America and the war that Western civilization has declared on its own innocent children through legal abortion as affronts to human dignity and life. I resented having to choose between an imperialist barbarian and a radical pro-abortionist in November of 2008. I pray and work for the emergence of a political movement that respects life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death, that rejects both excessive statism and excessive individualism in social and economic affairs, that enables and empowers communities to help themselves, and respects their civil and religious freedoms. I am a Catholic and a distributist/some sort of "socialist" (lets put it this way: I do not profess anything specifically and explicitly condemned). I attend traditional Latin Mass and study Das Kapital. I reject theological and liturgical liberalism as poison for the soul, and reactionary idealism as a detriment to understanding the truth about objective reality. I believe in the indisputable truths which I have found and which have been revealed to me in both traditions, and I can do no more, or no less.
